I wrote down about my daughter being featured on the local newspaper in May, last month. It was her first time on the newspaper. In the picture, she was with other several classmates and her two teachers. She was standing in the center of other people. I know her personality. She does not aggressively stand in the center of people. When I saw the picture, I instantly knew somebody asked her to stand in the center of the people for the picture.
And, one month later, today, my daughter was featured on the local newspaper again. This time, in the picture, she was standing alone in the center of the picture along with her art work. The picture was even bigger than last time.
My daughter looks shy, always maintaining her humble and quiet demeanor. So, these two experiences being featured in the newspaper are the evidence that she was shining and caught the editor’s attention.
I have the similar experience. When I was 13 years old, I attended in the camping that the local prefecture held. The local television crews joined us for the 3 nights and 4 days camping. They shot the videos of us for the upcoming television show.
Most participants desired to be on the television show, so they made their efforts on expressing themselves whenever they had opportunities. As for me, I didn’t want to be featured on the television show. So, whenever the camera came toward me, I quickly hid myself behind somebody’s back. Whenever I had an interview from the television crew, I made a quick answer in cold and unfriendly attitude. I never thought they liked my quick and unfriendly answers.
On the on-air day, I didn’t even bother to watch the television program.
While I was attending a swimming club activity on that morning, many fellow club members told me that they watched the program. They also mentioned I kept on appearing in the program.
On next day, one of my fellow club member let me watch the program that he recorded on the VCR tape.
I watched the program. Indeed, I appeared several times. I still don’t know why the television director choose me to be on the program. I guess I was somewhat shining and caught their attention. It was my television debut.
